Science points?

[Riger82]

Do they serve some kind of purpose yet?
Not only from examining items, I've found two 100 science points out in the field, and a couple 20's and a 50 in a small puddle/pond.
Can I do anything at all with them?

[Dutch]

Use them for Upgrades, And i'ts just good too get heaps of Science points for the upcoming update

The robot Burg.L at the Oak lab tree. Spend them with him on upgrades. Eyepatch +,canteen+,unlock floors,more durable walls,etc.

And like he said it's a good idea to stockpile who knows what we can buy in the future!

[Riger82]

So I just haven't found the vendor yet. Gotcha.
I know there are labs in the branches of the tree, but I also know there are strong spiders up there. So I'm probably a long ways off.
Are the point upgrades strong enough to make the farm worth it? Like it isn't just a 5% increase?

[Dreadliane]

You will want to go there as soon as possible if you wish to unlock floors. Crucial for building.

You can completely avoid the wolf spiders in the oak tree area. Even if you don't you can run inside the lab and they cannot follow. There are 2-5 wolf spawns that I know of near oak tree. 2 are inside the middle of oak tree(you dont have to go there to enter lab). 1-2 some times patrolling around the tree. 1 sleeping.

Don't limit yourself be brave. Complete the first part of the story and you will see an explosion. Afterwards you can then go investigate the oak tree.

Yes point upgrades are worth the farm to purchase.

Eyepatch+ gives same benefits as regular eyepatch(+attack) but also gives +Attack Stamina. So for example with mint mallet you can only swing 3 times before OutofStamina,with eyepatch+ you can swing 4 times. Worth

Canteen+ canteen can hold I think 3 more drops of liquid. Some amount like that.

Floors:crucial

Sturdy walls,etc:not necessary but nice option

Once you unlock the shop you'll know whats worth your own personal time.

You're going to want to go to the lab as soon as you can. At the moment you're not able to build floor tiles, stairs, and a few other items for your base which are pretty important. Make sure you purchase that first with your Science Points.

Go to the base of the Tree with Orange leaves. That is where the laser causes an explosion. You will meet the robot that gives you upgrades and missions.

Without ruining it for you, the upgrades are items you will probably need, in building stuff, to reducing materials needed in some products to extending the duration of others. To finding stuff that's quite hard to find. So farming missions is one of the easier methods of getting the points.

Yeah. I looked into them and saw that I'll need 1 of the 4 'chips'. And will probably want 1 more to upgrade the cantten.
Do I have to hunt the chips down before I can get the upgrade? Or does the vendor already have the 4 listed in the guide I was looking at?
I'm sitting on 1220 science points, which isn't nearly enough for all 4. Especially with the 5k one...

[D. Edwards]

There are chips to hunt to down to get more upgrades. But for now you primarily just need the floor and stairs to build.

Which chip is that? I met the robot, but had no upgrades to buy.
I'm heading to bed, but I'll hunt for it when I get up.

Hi does anyone know how to play multi player? i cant join the game is my friend is hosting the game i cant seem to find them over search friends

[D. Edwards]

You have to link your Xbox or Microsoftl Live, account with theirs. Once that's done you someone has to create the game or lobby then the other can search and join.

There are currently 3 chips in the game. 2 of them will get you upgrades. one is next to the robot on floor, one is in the ant hill food chamber and one that gives nothing is in a secret lab in hedge You'll need about 15000 pts to buy everything roughly.

Consider...Raw Science, the 'currency' of the game...the current way to get upgraded items.

From my perspective of many years of gaming and being over 50+...games break down into 2 Major Phases: Killing and Collecting

Raw Science is within the 'collection' paradigm.

BURG.L chips = category of upgrade available-what cool things you can do next-->collected via visiting Game Locations

Raw Science = currency to 'purchase' the available upgrades-->collected via finishing BURG.L quests AND/OR finding it in Game Locations

BURG.L tapes = Lore of the game/backstory-->collected via Game Locations

...hope this helps.


For this gamer, there is some small 'confusion' between BURG.L 'tapes' and 'chips'...ahem.

Oh, then there are the SCAB.I items, UI 'skins'-->collected via visiting Game Locations...yet another somewhat confusing item, not really used in 'game play'--used for changing your Game UI, in the Day/Night Cycles...

When I looked up the raw science online, I only found 4 upgrades that you can buy.
All 4 of those came from the chip near the vendor.
Do the other two chips unlock anything? Because after doing the quests, I'm only about 2k from buying the 5k option.
